Dave,I have a SE TL that ive had for a year at least. it seems to have alot stiffer and durable plastic than my others .I have seen/had a light red SE TL that was given to me that has the same traits. thier was also green SE TLs that came with the red/pink ones,all having the bar stamp with dots or champaine bubbles in the letters.Someone told me that these were early CE test runs / fused plastics.Is there any truth to that and if so was it just these three colors? Any help or history would be great.thanks. p.s. i only bring up the stamp because besides a solid or rainbow stamp the only one ive seen is the bubbles,on the SEs.

chase, I believe the earliest SE TLs were an opaque red. I don't know about the hotstamps. A subsequent run had more colors, but were still opaque. When you can see through the plastic and see bubbles, that is a later run, with a different plastic formulae.

Dave, do you know where I can find a stiff Aero? I bought one and it is in that Aviar Putt and Approach type plastic. I have heard that there are some in stiffer, Big Bead Aviar type plastic. Is this true?

I don't think we have made any stiffer Aeros for a while.

What about "first run" Valks?

SOme say they were only Red plastic?

Some say you can tell by the rings on the bottom center. But that doesn't match the color theory.

Dave, is there an good way top tell first run from latter, besdied the bubbles and such mentioned earlier?

KidR, probably a year or more, except for the candy Aero. Chad, no difference. John, first run was opaque red and blueberry. The edge of the disc was pretty sharp with flash and they were pretty stiff.

Thanks Dave.But what i mean isnt bubbles in the plastic itself but the design of the innova stamp. It was just a way out thought.I do love the old SE TLs and the new pro gremlins.Still waiting on a archangel in CE .Any chance?Thanks.

chase, we made some candy Archangels. They're to be used for fundraisers of some sort. They're not as unstable as I would have liked, but they're better than the first four attempts.

Keep your eye on this page http://www.innovadiscs.com/events/index.html for information on where to buy Candy Fundraiser discs. I will update it when new orders go out. If you have CFR discs to sell and you aren't listed, email me your tournament and contact info with discs that you have to sell.

DC, Champion Monsters generally go down to the mid 60s, but some have made it as low as the high 50s. The lower weights are more inconsistent stability wise, so we don't run many of them. We may have corrected this with the last run, but the lower weights weren't tested.

Dave D - Is Innova ever going to make a disc or a special stamp for team member Dave Greenwell? I know he's done a lot for Innova and for disc golf locally and regionally. Of course, I could be a little partial, since I live in Louisville.
How about a Champion Condor or Stingray for him?.....

Dave, is there any reason a stamp would make a disc more stable?

Proto, a CE Condor is a possibility. Dave is one of the best Condor throwers.

cracker, the stamp itself would not change anything, but the way the stamp is applied might. There is several tons of pressure and a lot of heat involved. The plastic could be reshaped by the process.

What is up with the pro-line discs and now the champion plastic again. are these latest champion discs the same plastic as the pro-line, and what is up with the big hype about pro-line and then going back to champion...

Dave, wouldn't a run of 10 CE Condors use up all your stock of plastic and then you'd be stuck trying to reformulate again? [img]/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif[/img]
